OAsastrenszsffect of n Fire Upon
Thrcc Policemen.
The Boaakc Of Police Commissioners
met yesterday afternoon to investigate
charges brought against three officers.
resulting from conflict between the
police and the fire departments at the
burning OF little shanty back OF the
Chinese theatre about ten days ago.
Henry Scherer, foreman of Fire
Company No. 8. accused Officer Bo-
land, number 40, with conduct unbe-
coming policeman, and, also, with
interfering with him while in the dis
charge of his duty, when aware that
Scherer was fireman. The Commis-
sioners found Boland guilty as charged
and suspended him for twenty days.
X. +. Lee, number 81, who on
the same occasion, trusted more to
his brawny arms than to his
star, which he t,ok off to engage in a
disgraceful rough and tumble fight
with drayman named Dan Leahy
was suspended for thirty days.
Foreman Scherer also accused Off
Ger John Stephenson, number %, OF
having gone to the driver of his en-
gine and telling him that Scherer had
better drop the charges or he would
have to lQokaout for himself.
SergeAHt. Ioomis charged Officer G..
b. Fitch with having refused to make
an arrest at the same fire when so or
dered by him. In this case also the
Commissioners found the officer guilty
as charged and suspended him until
January l, 1888.

SHERM N AND THE PARSON.
a Southern Clergyman's Dilem.
ma During the War.

General Sherman's presence in the
city recalled an ancedote that is told
OF the General and an Episcopal min
lister down South, which is well worth
repeating. 1t was during the occupa-
ton Of Memphis. Sherman had ord
esed all churches to be closed on Sun
day. The day following the issue OF
the order the General was waited on
by man who was appareled in the
formal garb OF the clergy, and whose
face was made solemn by an express
sion suggestive of a willing martyr.
"Well, sir" said the General,
what is your mission?'
81 am an Episcopal clergyman"
quotb the visitor, "and l am per-
picked to know how to obey your
order. There seems to be conflict
Of authority. According to our church
ritual, We are ordered to pray for the
Hon. Jefferson Davis, President Of
the Confederate States, and l am
enthusiastically bound to obey orders"
ssOh, never mind" said the Gen
eral, "pray for Davis; pray for him
with all your might and main. But,
my friend, to be candid, l am very
much afraid praying for him will do
him no good now. He's gone up"
s.Indeedl" said the pastor, with a
bcwildered look, "then shall / pray
for Abraham Lincoln?"
"No, my dear sir, don't do that; be
doesn't need any prayers. He is just
as sure OF salvation as any man that
ever died or will die"
Out of curiosity General Sherman
attended the Episcopal Church
the next Sunday.
The minister saw the distinguished
visitor in the audience, and when he
reached the point of conflict in the Ser-
vice between the church North and the
church South, with one eye on the
prayer book and the other ON General
Sherman, he said, "Bless the author
ity over u.s." without more specii-
cally designating his superiors.-

Flemish EnlbrOideries.

In the fourteenth and fifteenth GEN.
turies the city of Bruges was, to the
north of Europe, what Florence and
Venice were to the south. The waters
of her canals, now only troubled by a
flock of swans or rare barge drawn
by painting women or boys instead OF
horses, then swarmed with the deep
laden argosies" of merchants from all
the known world. In the splendid
houses, now often tenanted by nuns
and school-children, or turned into
manufactures and workshops, lived
the rich and powerful burghers, whose
wives were "all dressed as queens"
as Jeanne of Navarro said, with some
asperity, when she made her state
entrance into the city in 1901. The
unbounded luxury OF the Court of the
Counts of Flanders and Dukes OF Bur-
gundy encouraged manufacturers and
handicrafts of all kinds. And the
guilds, into whose hands art had
passed when it became secularized
in the thirteenth century, found
liberal patrons in these rich
and extravagant princes and their
followers. 1t was during this period
that embroidery lost it's distinctly re-
ligious character and came into COM
mon use in lay dress. And if we wish
to see to what a pass the sumptuous
dress of Flanders came, We have but
to consult the pictures OF the time.
On Van Eyck's and Mendling's mar
velous canvases the lay life of Bruges
is brought before us as a setting to the
most sacred subjects brought before
us, too, with such naif and serious
realism that it never jars upon our
tastes. Melchior and Gaspard as
they kneel before the Holy Child,
Herod and his courtiers as they sit at
the table or look on the headless
corpse of Saint John the Baptist, in
Mendling's pictures at the Hos
pital OF Saint John, are but por-
traits Of princes and cOurtiers
at the Prinsenhof hard by. The
gorgeous fabrics OF their dresses, stiff
with gold, are fresh from the looms Of
Bruges, which were then famous
throughout all northern Europe, while
the magnificent robe, with it's hem
em broidered in gold, pearls and jew
els, which is worn by the Virgin in
Van Eyck's great picture at Ghent of
the Alteration OF the Sacred Lamb, "
is almost duplicate OF the state man
tie in which Mary OF Burgundy lies
wrapped in her brass effigy on the
altar-tomb at Notre Dame in Bruges.
OF needlework for lay use little or
none exists now in Bruges. But the
ci v and its environs are rich in eccle-
siastical embroideries. The best pre-
served are at the Cathedral of St..
Sauveur. And through the kindness
of the Cure of st. Sauveur and of
Monsignor Bethune, Canon Of the
Cathedral, We have been able to OBJ
tain photographs OF several OF the
finest examples.-[Art Journal.

UNIQUE HOSPITALITY.
HOw q Boston woman Compel
n Caller to Take n Bath.

Mrs. Y. is brilliant Boston woman
cf abundant executive ability, shrewd
Wit and delightful hospitality. The
exigencies OF her husbands business
led to the keeping up of an establish
ment in the West, where Mrs. Y.
passes some months OF the year, and
people. One day there was brought
10 Mrs. Y. the card of an English gen.
tfeInan. accompanied by a letter of
introduction from friends of the Y's
abroad. The hostess went downstairs
and greeted the guest cordially.
we are so accustomed to travellers
here" she said, "that we know Just
what to do with them. We expect
everybody to arrive travel-stained and
exhausted, and we let everybody take
bath the first thing. l spoke to the
servant be.ore l came down, and
everything is all ready"
"But," stammered the stranger,
ri cannot think of putting you to SO
much trouble. L"
"Oh, / know Just how you feel"
interrupted Mrs. Y. ga bath is the
only thing that restores me to my nor

ing, and you have come right through

The guest demurred, but Mrs. Y.
vas too executive and too truly hospi-
table to allow his scruples to prevent
the carrying out of her kindly intent.
The Englishman was shown upstairs
10 the bathroom, where it is to be
presumed he combined with the pro-
gross of his toilet reflections upon the
originality and practicability of Amer
lean hospitality.
In due time the guest descended
again to the parlor, where Mrs. Y.
awaited him.
81 hope you found everything to
your mind, she said.
ooh. yes," he replied, 'I had a de-
iightfM bath; and now l must bid
YOU good afternoon, as Ihave to catch

"What?" cried the hostess aghast.

"Unfortunately l must. 1 only

"Mercyp y she exclaimed in dismay,
81 thought you had come to remain.
You certainly cannot 90 away when
have not seen you at all.
"I really must" was the reply,
"but l assure you that l have had a
most refreshing bath. and l shall al
ways remember with sincere pleasure
your unique hospitality"
The story was too good to keep, and
Mrs. Y. told it at her own expense,
greatly to the enter tainment of her
friends, who declared that this fash
ion of entertaining callers was one
which deserved to be widely intro
duced, as it would solve many a per-
picking question OF the proper meth

Destroyed by Dynamite.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 19.-The baggage car at
tached to the New York limited express,
which arrived in this city at 1890 o'clock
last night, was almost blown to pieces by
dynamite or some other terrible explosive a
few miles east of Altoona, Pa, Baggage
master Harry Mingus, who was in the car
at the time, was pretty badly hurt. The
trunk was put on the train at Duncannon,
near Harrisburg and was checked through
to Piitsburg. MiDgus was arranging the
trunks in the car. He picked up small ordi-
nary trunk and threw it on top of some
other baggage. An explosion followed
which lifted the top Off the car as though it
was made Of paper, and scattered fragments
in all directions. Tho shock was terrible
and startled the engineer and train men. 1t
also attracted the attention Of the passen
gers and when it was found that the bag
gage car had been almost blown to pieces
the greatest excitement prevailed. The
train was stopped aud the baggage trans
ferred TO another car. Mingus was quite
seriously injured but will recover. The own
er OF the trunk Was arrested when he pre-
sented his check for it at the baggage room,
this morning. He said that he was Hun
garan coal miner and that his name was
John Kagman. He came from Hazleton in
search of work and strenuously denied that
there was any explosive in the trunk. 1t
contained. he claimed, nothing but clothing
and some matches.

THE DETERMINATION Of the democratic
majority of the pensions committee OF the
U. s. House Of Representatives to report
adversely upon the Senate bill to give Mrs.
Logan an annual pension of $4,000, will
doubtless be attributed by some Northern
republican partisans to democratic hate and
spite, but only by those whose own actions
are subject to such mean and low Influences
and who therefore naturally think their op-
ponents are like themselves in thai respect
The determination was proper. 1t was IN
accordance with The spirit of the Constitu'
ton, which is no respecter OF persons, and
kept close to the line Of law and equity.
Mrs. Logan has no more right to such a
pension than the widow ofany other volun-
teer officer of the same rank in the Union

The TIangins OF Clmverius.

Amidst ali the discussion pro and con as
to Cluverius, there is one point which seems
to have been lost sight of-an important
point to two men, prominently connected
with the execution. l refer to Cluverius
and the silk rope manufacturer.
Apart from any question of taste or de-
cency, can any one ignore the fact that the
making of gay colored silk rope for the
hanging, and subsequent sale, was bril-
liant business idea? The fact that it stretch
ed several feet, thus enhancing profits, could
hardly have been premeditated; it must
have been purely accidental, but was very
important TO Cluyerius, as it nearly gave
him rest" and it will certainly give the
manufacturer several dollars over and above
legitimate profits. Seriously, l do think
that the mind that could originate and the
authorities that permitted such an exhbi-
ton deserve severe censure. Cluverius is
gone, and the question of his guilt is unset
tied in many minGs, the business of his ex-
ecution after such trial, in many more,

The Coupon Question Suing The
STATE.

TO the editor Of The Alexandria Gazette
1t may seem presumption after the able
articles from legal pens which have an.
peared in your columns, for one not n law
year to attempt to add anything on the
vexed question of The receiyability of cou.
pons for taxes My best apology is that
most | have to offer is not my own.
1t is constantly alleged by those who up
hold the present policy Of our State govern
ment on this question that suing a town or
county treasurer who has levied for taxes
after the tender OF coupons is suing The
State, and therefore unconstitutional and out
rageous. The simple answer TO this is that
the State cannot command its officer TO do
an unlawful act, that evying under snch cir
cumstances is by tho Judgment of the United
States Supreme Court on unlawful act, and
| that any State officer presuming so 10 do
cannot shield himself under that character
| against en- action for trespass, and, if tie
| jury so direct, exemplary damages. a treas
urer so levsiuG j. no less a trespasser than
any other person who under pretence oflaw
endeavors forcibIy TO possess himself ofthat
to which he can lay no just claim.
a private letter to the writer from one OF
our most eminent iursts contains the fol-
lowing remarks in relation to these who in-
s5t that to sue treasurer under the cir
cumstances above mentioned is TO sue the
State:

EVER SINCE the enormous pension list
was created it has been the democratic idea
that the requisite money should be raised
by tax on uxuries, so that it would be
collected from those who could afford to pay
it, and not from those who could not. In
other words, that the money should be col
lected from the men and boys who are SO
rich that they can afford to drink whisky
and chew and smoke tobacco, and not from
the poor people, by taxes on their clothing,
fuel, medicine, salt, sugar and other neces-
saries of life. But Mr.. Randall is Of the
sage opinion that the latter, and not the
former, are the better able to stand the
